My heart skipped beats.....





~ A magical gift ~


Hello dear friends!

As the title of this post says
"my heart skipped beats"
the day I received a wonderful parcel from
my dear blogging friend
Mary.

I have followed her lovely blog
for a few years.
She writes about her home and garden,
 her amazing travel exploits
often to quite remote destinations

An exquisite grey heart

and also about her visits
to antiquey shops/flea markety places
you know what I mean!!!

I've always wanted some fairy dust!


I left a comment on one of those posts
which sparked an idea for Mary
and the result was
this beautiful gift she sent me
quite out of the blue!

a beautiful collection of tags

vintage linen and exquisite bobbin lace



Everything in the parcel is divine,
telling me that over the years she
has got to know me very well!
 THANK YOU
dear Mary - you have filled my heart with
JOY
"I'm over the moon and dancing on air"!



So to celebrate - I'm joining these parties


and


Michelle for Grey Dey Thursdey



WELCOME
to my new followers - it's lovely to meet you here!
 
Merci à bientôt
take care of one another!

 

Shane

  14. Blogging is so much fun for me, and I have always said that for the past 4 1/2 years of doing so, I have made lifelong friends, that I will more than likely never have the pleasure of meeting and yet, we are sharing lives as well. What a beautiful friendship made and the gift give, so very special...very nice~
